6cc's - still no restriction?

[Teri9672 0]

Just wondering how normal it is to have 6cc's in a 10 band and still feel no restriction?

I got my first fill on 1/16 - 3cc's, going for a second fill Monday 2/2

I felt some restriction for the first few days after the fill, but now nothing. I'm still trying very hard to only eat 4-6 ounces, but the hunger comes back so soon.

How normal is this? I just feel like I only have 4cc's left in my band to fill and I'm just over 1 month out....eeeek

I was banded on Oct 24th and have had 1st fill of 3cc and my 2nd fill was another 3cc =6. Im still hungry all the time. Just once I felt sick but I think I didnt chew enough, so Im hoping my next fill in Feb will help.:cursing:

Trust me - you are not alone. I also have 6cc's and hardly have any restriction.

I have 6 cc's in a 10 cc band, and had great restriction for about two months. But it's gone, and I feel looser than I have since I got the band. I got .5 cc added a few days ago, but that caused me to be so tight I couldn't swallow Water. I've come to the conclusion that fill is an art, not a science, and it's totally trial and error. Hang in there, and get another fill next time. You will find your sweet spot, and it might be closer than you think. Who would have thought at 6 I could eat anything, even hard crusty pizza, and 6.5 I can't even swallow Water?

(BTW, I do not have a leak. All my saline is still there - we checked. Most likely I have lost a bit of the visceral fat around my stomach and in my band, making it looser.)

I have 8. in a 10 cc band. hopefully will get a little more today at my reg 6 wk appt. I got 1.cc 6 wks ago and I more restriction than I did have after that. just past my 1 yr bandiversary. So It is a gradual change form one fill to the next. I have lost some almost every month. and some months I have been way tighter than others and it lasts as long as I am losing and then it is time for more saline. I have to be close to my sweet spot. I can eat about 1.5 cups and then maybe a slice of WW bread, but I FEEL FULL not restricted. This is where my dr says I should be. I can go about 5-6 hrs without getting hungry most days. I still continue to be be way tighter in the morning after waking, so the 1.5 cup food would come at the last meal of the day. So most times after the gym I opt for a frozen Protein Shake if it is close to bedtime.:cursing:
